arise, my soul, arise, shake off your guilty fears;
the bleeding sacrifice, on my behalf appears;
before the throne my surety stands, before the throne my
surety stands, my name is written on his hands.
Refrain:
arise (arise), arise (arise), arise, arise, my soul, arise.
arise (arise), arise (arise), arise, arise, my soul, arise.
shake off your guilty fears and rise!
he ever lives above, for me to intercede;
his all-redeeming love, his precious blood, to plead;
his blood atoned for every race, his blood atoned for every race,
and sprinkles now the throne of grace.
Five bleeding wounds he bears, received on calvary;
they pour effectual prayers; they strongly plead for me:
“Forgive him, o forgive,” they cry, “forgive him, o forgive,” they cry,
“nor let that ransomed sinner die!”
my God is reconciled; his pard’ning voice i hear;
he owns me for his child; i can no longer fear.
With confidence i now draw nigh, with confidence i now draw nigh,
and “Father, abba, Father,” cry.
